Oh, Em Gee! It's The Checkerboard Guy!

Winner of the 1988 Ottawa Busker's Festival as well as the Halifax Busker's Trophy, The Checkerboard Guy - "comic daredevil, juggler, and goof in action" - can be found murdering the festival circuits of Canada with an unrelenting force. Wielding the powers of the six-foot unicycle (of death) and the flaming scooter jump (also of death) how could you NOT be totally fricking KILLING it in Canada. Hey! What about Kamloops, BC? Has CBG been there? Yes, I'm sure the 75th annual Sugarmoose Run was a slaughterhouse more down & dirty than wherever McDonald’s hamburger patties come from. (Aside: I have got to learn how to balance a cap on the end of my nose and then pop it back on my head.)

About This Blog

My name is Nikki and I’m a life-long wearer of Vans.

In the interest of full disclosure, I work at Vans in the marketing department. I created this blog simply because there are so many cultural happenings surrounding Vans that I see everyday on the Web but nowhere to cull them all together. Basically, I look for people who use Vans (in some form) to express themselves or news following that same thread and aesthetic.

This isn’t the blog to ask me for a job, to hit me up for free kicks, or to tell me that you tore a hole in your jacket. Please don’t bother because this ain’t the “Ask Nikki Advice Column,” nor a replacement for the Vans Customer Service department, of which I have no part. And of course, thoughts and opinions expressed on this page are mine and mine alone, but I like it that way…
